Choose the level of support that suits your Great Wall visit, from an independent walk with a private driver to an English-guided journey.
Our private tours may be offered in Silver, Gold or Platinum versions. The main differences are the level of guiding and the services included around your walk. Not every package is suitable for every route, so we confirm the available options for your chosen itinerary and date.
Private road packages include a transfer from Beijing and back with our professional drivers and quality Buick and Mercedes vehicles. Vehicle size and the final pickup and return arrangements are set out in your proposal.
A private driver and vehicle for travelers who are comfortable walking a suitable Great Wall route independently.
Best considered for an appropriate managed route, such as Jinshanling. The team confirms the entry, exit and driver meeting point.

A restored scenic-area walk, an unrestored mountain traverse and an overnight camp need different arrangements. Silver is not a blanket self-guided option for every trail. Some Gold itineraries also include an independently walked section; this is identified in the proposal rather than left for you to infer.
For a camping or multi-day trip, check the permitted overnight location, equipment, accommodation, meal count and guiding arrangements. Cable cars, toboggans and other optional activities are included only when expressly listed.
Small-group tours such as 2GC1 and 2GC2, and rail-based programs such as 2T and 3TX, follow their own transport and support plans. They are not automatically covered by this private road-package comparison. Read the individual program and confirm the applicable services before booking.
Send us the tour code, travel date, group size and preferred language of support. We will confirm which package options are available, the vehicle arrangement and a clear list of inclusions. Rates depend on the route, party size and services selected.
